IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE DISPENSER OF GRACE[19:75]
Say: "As for him who lives in error, may the Most Gracious lengthen the span of his life!"
[And let them say whatever they say] until the time when they behold that [doom] of which they were forewarned – whether it be suffering [in this world] or [at the coming of] the Last Hour: for then they will understand which [of the two kinds of man] was worse in station and weaker in resources!

* v.75 : Or: “grant him a respite,” so that he might have a chance to realize the error of his ways and to repent: thus, every believer is enjoined to pray for those who are sinning.
* This interpolation refers to, and connects with, the “saying” of the deniers of the truth mentioned in verse 73 above (Zamakhsharī).
* Lit., “in respect of support” or “of forces” (jundan) – an expression which, in this context, denotes both material resources and the ability to utilize them towards good ends.
